Variability Of eur Marriage Laws.

From the Savannah News.
In twenty.three states out Of the
thirty-eight a prior undissolved
marriage sets aside q new union.--
In twenty insanity does the same
in seventeen homage, and in thir.
teen fraud. These are grounds for
declaring the marriage null and
void ab initio. Desertion, as a
ground for divorce, varies in length
and character in many states. In
some states, where the civil cbarac.
ter Of the contract is most valued,
there are so many loophOles Of es.
cape from the matrimonial moose
that getting unmarried Is even
easier an getting married. In
compatibility of temper and cruel
ty, terms interpreted to suit the
occasion, often loosens the nuptia
knot. Wisconsin is in the lead in
complacent attention to the desires
of divorce seekers, it being ther'
held that when q husbands con

RunnIng an Account.

1t is a convenient thing to have
a standing account at a store,
where you can 60 at any time, or
der what you please, and have it
charged, without the worry of hav.
ing to consider whether you have
money in your purse to pay for it
OF not, bat it is also true that these
items, small though they may be,
amount up with appalling rapidity
into a sum that always surpasses
expectation. Besides, this, the
very best calculatOrs, and those
who generally use a wise economy,
buy things in this way which they
could easily do without did they
take the time for reflection which
cash payments would often compel.
1t is so easy, when an article that
seems at the time desirable is seen,
to order it sent and charged for,
the temptation overcomes the buy
or before the strength which comes
from looking at the matter on all
sides enables her to resist the i'm.
pulse to buy. Often purchases are
made in this way and regretted,
while something that was far more
necessary must in consequence be
gone without.
Merchants understand thata great

A FAMINE BREEDER.
THE WONDERFUL APPETITE OF AN
INDIANA BOY.

INDIANAPOLIS, February l5.-A
special TO the Journal from Martins
vile says: "Henry Flowers, a
fourteen.year.old boy Of Jefferson
Township, this county, is one OF
the most peculiar specimens OF
humanity that has ever come to
light in this section. Hc came to
town last Saturday, as is his usual
custom, and was taken to the Man
sion House of this city by two
prominent citizens, who bargained
with the landlord to furnish the
boy a square meal for So cents,
they wishing to satisfy their Curl
osity as to his abilities as an eater.
They did not have long to wait un'
til their fondest hope of getting
the joke upon the landlord was
realised. He ate six pieces OF
light bread, two pieces of corn
bread, two large slices of roasted d
beef with gravy, two large slices of
roasted pork, four large potatoes,
one dish of beans, one dish of slaw,
two dishes of hOminy, one dish OF
parsnips, and two pieces OF pie
After eating the pie he called for a
bowl of oysters, and was informed
that they were not on the bill OF
fare for that day. He then went
to HDr. Blackstone's to eat again,
and his meal there consisted OF
seven potatoes, three slices OF
bread, each six by eight inches {;
two slices of roast beef, two cups
OF coffee, one dish of tomatoes, one
dish of butter. beans, and two pieces
of pie. AS is usual with him, his
hunger was not yet satisfied. lie
went from DR.. Blackstone's to one
of the city bakeries, there purchas-
ed ten cents worth of cheese and
crackers and ate them, and at last
accounts he was in his usual con-
ditiOn.
"The boy is very lean and Of less
than the average height tor his age,
being only about three feet high
and weighing but forty pounds
His skin is thick and yellow, his
cheeks hollow and sunken, and his
eyes give an unmistakable proof OF
his constant hunger, which he
evinces on all occasions. Seldom,
If ever, does one encounter such an
appetite, and 1t is a wonder where
he stows away so much food. Nc
